? Is it All a Male Conspiracy

Since the 1960s a number of pressure groups have tried to persuade us to buck our biological legacy. They claim that governments, religions and education systems have added up to nothing more than a plot by men to suppress women, colluding to keep good women down. Keeping women pregnant was a way of controlling them even more. Certainly, historically, that's how it appears

But the question needs to be asked
:


If women and men are identical, as these groups claim, how could men ever have achieved such total dominance over the world?

The study of how the brain works now gives us many answers. We are not identical. Men and women should be equal in terms of their opportunities to exercise their full potential, but they are definitely not identical in their innate abilities. Whether men and women are equal is a political or moral question, but whether they are identical is a scientific one. Those who resist the idea that our biology affects our behaviour often do so with the best of intentions - they oppose sexism. But they are confused about the difference between equal and identical which are two completely different issues. In this book, you will see how science confirms that men and woman are profoundly different both physically and mentally. They are not the same. We have investigated the research of leading palaeontologists, ethnologists, psychologists, biologists and neuro scientists. The brain differences between women and men are now clear, beyond all speculation, prejudice or reasonable doubt. When weighing up the differences between males and females discussed in this book, some people may say, 'No, that's not like me, I don't do that!' Well, maybe they don't. But we are dealing here with average men and women, that is, how most men and women behave most of the time, in most situations and for most of the past. 'Average' means that if you are in a room full of people you'll notice that men are bigger and taller than women, in fact 7% taller and an average 8% bigger. The tallest or biggest person in the room may be a woman, but overall the men are bigger and taller than the women. In the Guinness Book of World Records 2001, the biggest and tallest people have almost always
been men. The tallest human on record was Robert Wadlow from Alton, Illinois who, in June 1940, measured 2. 72 metres (8 feet 11. 1 inches). The tallest person in the year 2000 was Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia who stood 2. 35 metres (7 feet 8. 9 inches). History books are full of 'Big Johns' and 'Little Suzies'!
This is not sexist. It's fact.
